In this heartfelt episode of the Behind The Village podcast, we dive deep into the incredible journey of resilience, love, and healing shared by Jackleen Givens and her son. From living through homelessness and addiction to navigating an autism diagnosis at 15, their untold story sheds light on the challenges families face and the strength it takes to persevere.
Discover how Jackleen's dedication to journaling led to the creation of her memoir "In His Lyrics," a collaborative effort that captures both her perspective as a mother and her son’s raw experiences of life on the streets.
Join us as we explore the gaps in mental health and addiction resources, the systemic barriers for youth, and the importance of breaking the stigma surrounding these issues.
Don’t miss this moving conversation that highlights the work being done to share untold narratives and inspire change.
